Stokes drift, wind stress, wind and directional wave spectra from twelve buoy stations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific from 1973-06-22 to 2016-07-06 (NCEI Accession 0175004)
This dataset contains years of simultaneous hourly buoy wind and directional wave spectra data in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific from 1973-06-22 to 2016-07-06. Also included in this accession are the Stokes drift and u* ew where u* = (magnitude of the local windstress/water density)^1/2 and ew is a unit vector in the direction of the local wind, which are all estimated from the wind and directional wave spectra data. The wind observations were obtained from the National Data Buoy Center and the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. Observed directional wave spectra were obtained from the National Data Buoy Center and the Coastal Data Information Program. There are three netCDF files for each of the 12 stations in the study. The first two files contain the observed wind and directional wave spectra data. The third file contains processed wave spectra data, wind data and estimated Stokes drift and wind stress. The data are dense enough to be useful for the 20 year time period extending from 1996 through 2015.
